Kegerreis, Robert R.

Kegerreis, Robert R. Age 72, passed away suddenly on January 22, 2016 at St.
Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI from trauma from a fall and heart
failure. Robert "Bob" Kegerreis was a long-time resident of Northville, MI, and
touched the lives of many people. Bob lead a storied life and always brought a
smile to the faces of those he came into contact with. He worked for many years
in manufacturing, working his way up the ranks over the years to become a CEO
and mentor to many in the manufacturing industry. In his career, Bob was
fortunate enough to be able to travel the world and experience cultures many
never have the opportunity to experience. Bob also had a passion for
videography, and filmed and produced several videos on various topics, many on
the history of Michigan. He also spent many hours giving presentations on the
history of Michigan. Bob was also very involved in the YMCA of Metropolitan
Detroit, where he sat on the board and helped improve the lives of many
children in the area through the Strong Kids program. He considered his
colleagues at both the Livonia and Farmington YMCA his "other" family and spent
every day working out and filming the children's activities and plays to help
fundraising efforts for both locations. A big kid at heart, Bob was an avid
runner and full of energy and adventure. He will be missed greatly by his
friends and family. Bob is survived by his wife, Judy Marie Kegerreis; son,
Geoffry Kegerreis and wife, Susan; son, Kristopher Kegerreis and wife, Sharon
and granddaughters, Julia Porter and Makayla Kegerreis; daughter, Kami Kennedy
and husband, Bill Kennedy and grandson, Dakota Alger; brother, Marvin Kegerreis
and wife, Diane and brother, Carl Kegerreis and wife, Sandy. Bob is also
survived by several nieces and nephews and many, many friends. Per Bob's
wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial services will take place at a
later date in the spring.
